It may be time spent And in a private email to Mr. Evron I pointed out how it was nice of him to be willing to be a moderator. Mr. Evron's reply was no. He was not offering up his own effort to solve what he felt was a problem. The simplist way to kill a thread asking someone else to do a bunch of work is to ask the thread bringer "Will you do the work?" If they are unwilling to do the work, what else is there to 'discuss'?
